WARNING: Current consumption in the
motorhome must not exceed 16 amps or
the pitch permitted maximum if this is
less than 16 amps.
It is dangerous to attempt modifications
and additions yourself. Never allow
modification of electrical systems and
appliances except by qualified persons.
Lampholder–plugs (bayonet-cap
adaptors) should not in any
circumstances be used.
CAUTION: Electrical heaters have the
potential to draw 8 amps at 2kW. It is,
therefore, advisable to check the supply
rating before switching on two loads (items)
greater than the supply as this may cause an
overload and the circuit breaker to trip.
OVERSEAS CONNECTION
Note: Connection to a mains voltage supply
OVERSEAS requires particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting
supplies abroad since the supplies can be of
REVERSE POLARITY.
The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is
that when equipment is switched off it may
not be electrically isolated.
The only certain way of making equipment
safe is to unplug it.
If it can be achieved, it is preferable to
connect live to live, and neutral to neutral to
maintain full electrical protection.
